Significance and Use3.1 This test

6、 method is not widely used. However, it is aconvenient procedure for field or plant determination ofmoisture content of fine aggregate if specific gravity values areknown and if drying facilities are not available. It can be usedto adjust the aggregate mass for moisture content and todetermine surfa

Apparatus4.1 Balance, having a capacity of 2 kg or more and sensitiveto 0.5 g o

8、r less.4.2 FlaskA suitable container or flask, preferably of glassor noncorrosive metal. The container may be a pycnometer, avolumetric flask, a graduated volumetric flask, or other suitablemeasuring device. The volume of the container shall be fromtwo to three times the loose volume of the sample.

9、Thecontainer shall be so designed that it can be filled to the mark,or the volume of its contents read, within 0.5 mL or less.5. Sample5.1 Select a representative sample of the fine aggregate to betested for surface moisture content. It shall weigh not less than200 g. Larger samples will yield more

10、accurate results.6. Procedure6.1 The surface water content may be determined either bymass or volume. In each case the test shall be made at atemperature range of 18 to 29C.6.2 Determination by MassDetermine the mass of thecontainer, in grams, filled to the mark with only water. Beforeplacing the sa

11、mple into the container, adjust the level of thewater so that it will be sufficient to cover the sample withoutgoing over the original mark. Introduce the weighed sample offine aggregate into the container and remove the entrapped air.Fill the container to the original mark, and determine the massin

United States16.3 Determination by VolumeMeasure a volume of water,in millilitres, sufficient to cover the sample and place in thecontainer. Introduce the weighed sample of fine aggregate intothe container and remove the entrapp

When a pycnometer orvolumetric flask of known volume is used, fill the container tothe known volume mark with an additional measured volumeof water. The flask or pycnometer volume is the

Precision and Bias9.1 This procedure is estimated to be less precise thanproperly conducted moisture content tests by drying (TestMethod C566

22、). Accurate specific gravity information is essen-tial to the bias of this method. Test Method C566 can be usedto verify the level of bias.9.2 PrecisionThese estimates of precision are based onresults from the AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory(AMRL) Proficiency Sample Program, of testing conduct

23、ed onFine Aggregate Proficiency Sample Numbers 99 and 100. Theprecision limits are based on test results submitted by 144laboratories that tested two fine aggregate test samples ofapproximately 500 g mass with average surface moisturecontents of 2.323 % and 2.075 % respectively.9.2.1 Single-Operator

24、 PrecisionThe single-operator stan-dard deviation of a single test result has been found to be0.50 %.3Therefore, results of two properly conducted tests bythe same operator should not differ by more than 1.39 %.9.2.2 Multilaboratory PrecisionThe multilaboratory stan-dard deviation of a single test r

25、esult has been found to be0.82 %.3Therefore, results of two properly conducted tests indifferent laboratories on the same material should not differ bymore than 2.31 %.39.3 BiasSince there is no accepted reference materialsuitable for determining the bias of this test procedure, nostatement on bias
